NEW FORMAT?

lynne8221 — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 05:32:35 GMT

Hi Everybody - Just a quick question.

Went to list "sell similar item" & let's me sell for 30 days, but doesn't come up wthe 3 free listings. It used to be a 2 screen procedure to relist or revise but now only one.

Anybody know what's going on?

OK everyone - please ignore my stupidity.

Just went back & read thoroughly & found 3 free relists.

But it is a new format - is it something to do with the Active Content changes coming next year???

Not a fan of the new format at all,personally

And I hate how ebay just take it upon themselves to change things (such as postage) to their own selections

This is the first time I've seen it. Can we change back (like they have classic screen in Paypal)?

so far I have only seen the 'classic' tab (or whatever they call it) for the listing body (which I have had to change back each time)

I am not sure if there is a way to keep it changed, or if there is a way to keep the postage options what you want them to be, rather than what ebay wants

It's not a new format, you've been sent to the quick listing tool for some reason. Seems to be happening to a few people. You can change it back by using the "switch to advanced tool" link in the top right corner of the page.

Mine is a new format. Pic loader is on the page, fields are in way different places...

Oh, OK, I've not encountered that yet. Usually when someone mentions listing on just one page it's because they've been switched. I'll have to see if I can trigger the new format somehow.

OP, please disregard my earlier post.

No worries. I've got the same page as Dave. I've been listing this afternoon & it's not too bad.

I don't seem to have "switch to advanced tool" in the top right corner of page - all gone.

You'll just go in to list one day (probably sooner rather than later) & there it will be.

Thanks everybody for the input.

Oh wow, it certainly be different!!!

All that white on the page makes it a little hard to find things, but that's only because I'm used to the other one. I think I might get to like this one, but I've only had a very quick look at it. It'll be nice if we can drop & drag pictures but I didn't stay long enough to check whether we can do that.

I queried the 3 free auto relists as I'm not getting them anymore. I only have a few sales on this account.

Ebay advised that because I have 2 other accounts all 3 accounts are linked and therefore I am no longer eligible for the 3 free relists.

Ok so all 3 accounts are linked and taken into consideration. I find it amusing then that eBay decided to hold funds on this account for 21 days and refused to release the funds despite me advising I have 2 other accounts in excellent standing.

so much for taking all 3 accounts into consideration!

They are so wishy washy with their policies and rules.

EBay is full of it when it comes to the 3 free relists. From what they tell you, majority of people here wouldn't be eligible, yet most here get them. Unless you have sold more than 100 items AND $12,000 on an account in the last 12 months, then you should still get them. They try to tell you they are for new members and once you've sold 100 items, you lose them. It's total carp.

As for having your funds held, if it's still happening, get onto PayPal and ask them to lift the hold. If they refuse, lodge a dispute with the FOS, stating you have 2 other accounts in good standing and in less than a week, the hold will be lifted permanently.
